This program contrasts some intricate solo passagework with sections featuring simple chanting from groups. The effect is one of shifting between the special dynamism which seems to define Kurdish music for me, and a more hypnotically repetitive world of real ritual.

Unfortunately, little detail is given regarding the constituent tracks or the performer identities.

The group released a second recording on Arion in 2002.
